G1: Investigate impact of abortable mixed collections

XMLWordPrintable

    • gc

      Abortable mixed collections/Optional collections evacuate regions as time permits to better meet the pause time goal with evacuations. Another side-effect is to reduce garbage collections. The last time this has been done earnestly has been when the feature had been introduced.

      Investigate on a few applications whether there is an impact and how large this is.

      (Some) Interesting metrics are:
      * how often is it used
      * how well does this feature mark G1 meet pause time goals (from below and above)
      * impact on total pause time

      Candidates for this evaluation are BRT, extremem and specjbb2015 fixed-IR.

      One option is to compare current implementation and setting the internal magic constant optional_prediction_fraction to 0, which will disable them.
